This paper discusses the significance of traditional Indian textiles, which are recognized globally for their intricate
surface ornamentation techniques like embroidery, dyeing, and printing. Embroidery has been a popular technique used for
centuries to adorn clothing and textiles. Different regions in India practice distinct embroidery techniques, each having
unique features. The study analyzes two embroidery styles: the Hmong embroidery from Thailand and the Phulkari of
Punjab. The paper summarizes the history, techniques, design, and material used for embroidery, types of stitches, end
products, and the cultural significance of these traditional art forms and further analyzes the similarities and differences
between the two crafts. The study found that though both embroideries share similarities in the use of colors, cultural
significance, and women's art forms, they also have notable differences. These findings highlight the rich diversity of textile
arts around the world and the importance of cultural heritage in preserving these traditions.
